Behringer U-Phoria UMC22

Only one whitelisted tester, SoundGuys, covers the exact UMC22 — and does so as a 'bang for your buck' pick in a USB-interface roundup, not a lab test. It praises the sub-$100 value plus the pairing of a mic and instrument input with phantom power, but flags limited inputs and a 48kHz ceiling. No measured benchmarks exist; the coverage is a brief roundup blurb rather than a hands-on lab review. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Excellent value for well under $100; Has both a mic and an instrument input plus phantom power.

Flagged: Limited inputs with no expandability; 48kHz recording ceiling; No standout features or extras.
